FORBES (1937, November 25). The Farmer and Settler (Sydney, NSW : 1906 - 1955), p. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article117219660 When he arrived from Staffordshire, in 1912, Mr. Idiens worked for two years on Linden Hills, where under the direction of Mr. B, J. stocks he learnt much about wheat farming. He later won a closer settlement block at Peak Hill, and farmed there until 1919, when he sold his flock of 600 sheep, left his wheat crop under the eye of a neighbor, and returned to England to get married. He returned with his bride in tlme to take the crop off. Born on the hills of Shropshire, Mrs. Idiens ably assists her husband in running the farm. She drives the tractor in shifts with her husband, takes almost complete control of the sheep, and raises pure-bred Astralorp fowls, working on birds from the studs of Mr, C. Judson,Thornleigh, and Mrs. Madrers, 'Seaview,'Kogarah. In addition to the farm work,Mrs. Idiens finds time to keep a home garden and attend to the needs of her husband and their home.

FATAL ACCIDENT (1943, March 5). The Forbes Advocate (NSW : 1911 - 1954), p. 4. http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article219508282 FATAL ACCIDENT Mr. Herbert Idiens' End Mr. H. Idiens, of "Yamboola," Eugowra, met with a fatal accident last Thursday week, when he was trapped for three hours between a tractor and a duck-foot cultivator. He suffered severe bruises and contusions about the hip and body before he was released by his wife, in a semi-conscious condition. The accident occurred when, in attempting to adjust a broken drawbar, Mr. Idiens accidently released the brake, causing the tractor, which was on a slope, to run back. Mrs. Idiens found him in this position, when she arrived with his lunch at one o'clock. Fortunately she was able to drive the tractor, which was still running, and so release him. Mrs. Idiens then rang the Eugowra Ambulance, which arrived at the scene of the accident in a very short time. Mr. Idiens was admitted to the Canowindra S.M. Hospital. He was later taken to Orange for medical treatment, but was beyond help and passed away at Orange on Tuesday, March 2. He is survived by his wife, there being no children.
